Which modmanager should I use? I’ve seen that Vortex can be used but the majority of people I’ve seen don’t like it. I’d like to mod Skyrim and Darkest Dungeon
I have a terrible habit of watching Youtube while I eat, and then one video turns to ten and I’ve wasted the entire day.

Thanks for a great description. I’m curious, have you tried the JHS Unicorn? I really prefer analog stuff and I know that uses a photo cell. Really curious to compare it with this Strymon. Univibe is my favorite effect so I don’t mind splurging but I can’t keep using my MD-500 for Univibe, it aint right on that thing.
